I think that many creators would struggle to benefit if their creations can be trivially copied by others.

They might struggle to sell licenses to their ideas, given that license is merely permission to perform a trivial task they are equally prepared to perform sans license, they could always benefit by selling their creative labor as work on the market.

That would mean that artists were only able to make money if they are working directly for someone else. That doesn't seem fair.
